Kim Jong Un’s love for fine wine and cheese has the North Korean dictator packing the pounds, according to UPI. He has been steadily gaining weight since he took power in 2012.

The chunky leader reportedly weighed around 290 pounds in July, and he hasn’t scaled back on his favorite gourmet meal since.

Kim especially has a taste for expensive Swiss cheese and Bordeaux wine, once bragging that he had 10 bottles before a meal, according to his former sushi chef Kenji Fujimoto.

In 2014, he sent officials to learn the art of cheese-making at a French culinary school, after becoming unsatisfied with his chefs attempts to replicate his beloved Emmental, which is a medium-hard Swiss cheese. Kim got hooked on fine cheeses in boarding school.

Kim’s cheese addiction even once drove him to retreat from public after he received large shipment of Emmental, according to Metro UK.

But it’s possible Kim doesn’t mind the extra jiggle.

“North Koreans think being fat is good, unlike South Koreans who want to be skinny,” defector Cho Myung-Chul, of the Korea Institute for International Economic Policy, told the Mirror.
